Yum! I am visiting the area and was driving past before i turned around and pulled back in, best decision ever! Food was hot and fresh and low price! What a perfect spot for a quick lunch as i am passing through. I had a cheeseburger with fries, crinkle cut if you're wondering & the pup had a pup patty! Service was friendly too! read more

I have been coming here since I was little and it has forever been my favorite burger spot. Even when I was vegetarian for at least 10 years, my only exception was eating their burger a few times a year while passing through on the way to our family cabin. The ladies working here are always friendly and I love their food. The bubblegum ice cream is a staple and their shakes are great as well. This is a nostalgic spot that has my heart. read more

This is a must stop when I'm in the area. The service is quick and friendly. I got a bacon cheeseburger, gizzards with ranch, and the soft serve. All was delicious. The bacon cheeseburger was juicy. The gizzards were crisp and went well with ranch. I never had the soft serve till this last visit and it was creamy and oh so good! read more

I got my usual Humdinger Burger and a Blackberry Shake! Usually I get fries with their delicious sauce but didn't this time. Always delicious! read more

The friendliest folks work here! Makes the food taste even better. Always stop for a swirl cone when we go through. Meals are typical home drive-in fast food. read more

Best burgers and fries around. Even the fish and chips are better than anywhere else on the harbor. The burgers are full of flavor and the buns are perfectly toasted. The fries! Oh the fries...crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, are perfection. The ice cream and shakes are great too. And the service is always super friendly and helpful. And the prices are really good. Its so much better in every way compared to the other overpriced tourist trap burger "den" read more

Got the Humdinger which was a double patty with lettuce, tomato and onion with sauce. Reminded me of a big Mac but with better patties than McDonalds. Service was friendly, but I had gotten confused when she asked what car I was at and that she would knock on the window. She did not mean my car window but the window of the store so I was confused when I heard loud knocking but there was no one around my car. I was not allowed to wait in the store after I ordered, rather I had to wait in my car to wait for a knock. This is a walk up burger place with no place to sit but your own car. read more

Great shakes and prices. The prawns are big and yummy! We usually swing in for a tasty morsel when we are in the area. I like how they bang on the window when your order is ready. Lots to choose from. Cool old building. You can only take it to go. read more

We ordered their bacon cheeseburger, onion rings, fish and chips, chicken sandwich, and cheeseburger. So delicious! And the ladies there were so generous and sweet. They made the experience even better! Went out of their way to make us feel important. Wish I got pictures but we were passing through. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch and so glad we did. They have a couple of tables outside but it was raining so we just ate in the car. The food was packaged well that it wasn't messy. We got the deluxe cheeseburger, deluxe burger, fries, and chicken strips. We didn't realize the chicken strips came with fries too so it was a lot of food. The burgers were some of the best I've had. Loved that the buns were toasted and the patty was crisp. There was just enough sauce and toppings inside. The crinkle fries were crisp but a bit oversalted. The chicken strips were also hot and crispy. Overall it was a satisfying meal. We didn't have to wait too long. It was a great pit stop to make. read more

The service was amaze girls were so sweet and quick but my food was burn but still raw. Black and charcoaled on the outside and cold and raw on the inside. My fries were soggy and cold as well as my burger bun. I had high hopes but unfortunately will not be going back read more

I ordered the fried mushrooms and onion rings with a cherry shake to wash it down. The shakes are wonderful! Delicious and flavorful. The food is reminiscent of what I used to get at Pike Place Market in the early 90s. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. The building is more of a buy and go type of place but they have a couple picnic tables outside if you want to eat there. Or you can eat in your car, they just knocked on their window to let me know my order was ready and I picked it up. If you're looking for great burgers and hot dog kind of place, you can't beat this one. Just make sure to get yourself a milkshake! read more

Got a burger and fries. The portions were a little smaller than I thought but it was affordable and tasted good. There was a dirty table out front to eat but otherwise no place to sit. read more

Burger was saucy. Too saucy. Fries had less salt than a lake. The chocolate shake was good. Service was... pricy. Got overcharged. Building looking rundown like everything else in this area. One of the employees also jumped out of a little window on the side of building. That was cool. read more

Food is great. Most of the prices are great. Was disappointed with the serving size of Coleslaw considering the price (it tasted great though). Have been here a few times. Service is great most of the time but was surprised to find on Friday nights I was expected to call and order ahead. Kind of weird considering they don't keep an up to date online menu up but good to know for the future. If it was up to my kids, this is all they would eat. read more

don't think they have a restroom still, but oh man their hamburgers taste amazing, old school taste take me back to my teen years back. This time tried the works, a double cheese bacon burger with everything including grilled onions, it was the bomb, and love the building still has that 70's vibe & nice view of the river to chill while waiting for your order, even with the typical harbor rain, lol... read more

Great little hole and the wall spot! It's one of those experiences where you'll think to yourself that this burger is good because of where it was made, however the burger shines in its own merits. We had to make a second trip just to make sure. Still held up read more

Everything is always great! We stop in often as it's on the way between o.s. and everything else. The menu is quite large, and everything we've tried is very tasty. read more

Great local burger joint with great service and food. Had a deluxe cheeseburger, fries and a banana shake. Got it to-go and it was such great comfort food. Will go again and again. Keep it up!! read more

Awful don't waste your money !if you like frozen fried everything go there ! No bathroom dirty tables etc go back into town

Honestly, I love Humdinger's. It is kind of our tradition to stop on our way to the coast for a bite and we've been doing it since I can remember. That would be since the 90's. It's nothing fancy, just consistently good food that's probably bad for you. I don't think I've ever been there and had a bad meal. As much as we always want to try different things we end up getting the same meals (but I have had their bacon burger too). On our last trip it was the Humdinger (burger), a cheeseburger and fries, a side of fried gizzards and clam strips and a couple of shakes. The Humdinger (burger) was messy, but most of the time that equates to a good burger, juicy, flavorful and gooey cheese and two patties. The gizzards, one of the few places I can get 'em. I'm hard pressed finding anywhere around where I live, sad really. But they were freshly fried perfect, not so much that they are over cooked and hard to eat. My boy loved his cheeseburger and ranks it in his top 3, just below Kokopelli's Grill cheeseburger and Dick's cheeseburgers. As for the wife, she always enjoys her clam strips because they are nice strips of actual clam, not just meager morsels of hollowed out crunchy breading and a bit of clam here and there. As for their shakes, nice, thick and creamy and combine flavors anyway you want. Peanut butter and chocolate for my lady and a cinnamon shake for the boy child. Humdingers it definitely someplace I always look forward to going to when I know we are planning on going to the coast. Probably a good thing I don't live any closer otherwise I'd probably make it a weekly stop if not daily. Probably wouldn't be good for my waist line or cholesterol level either. So for us, it's a one or twice a year traditional stop. Maybe it can be yours too. Love me some Humdingers! read more

Previous reviews were so good we decided to try it...boy were we dissapointed. The woman with the short brown hair was incredibly impatient. I immediately apologized that we had never been there. There was no line behind us yet she kept repeating "Is that all"? "Anything else"? It was a bit comical as she obviously was annoyed with our brief indecision. Once we received our order we counted 5 small Onion rings, Small serving of french fries, Humdinger burger was made incorrectly and my Shake was just raspberry syrup. We were so hungry we ate the measly portions of fries & onion rings ( tasted like they used the same oil all day) but I could'nt finish my very bland burger. We were so dissapointed that we wasted $34.67 & calories on this place. A lesson to read Reviews more thoroughly & look for Recent ones. Cannot recommend since we won't return here. read more

What a great spot. Old greasy spoon burger joint. Great staff and delicious food. The ' Hum Dinger' burger is absolutely appropriately named, as is the whole place. A strong must stop n grub when in the area. read more

Driving through Hoquium at lunch time we were looking for a burger place to stop and eat. Right in the main road through town at the bridge was a little burger joint we decided to check it out. A few others were pulling in also. We placed our order for the deluxe cheeseburger which had everything on it but the kitchen sink. I got onion rings and my hubby had fries. They told us to wait in the car and they would bring it out to us. This was probably due to the new normal and weather. It was cold and rainy! Onion rings were few. But they were good. Burger was decent. Way better then fast food joint! I love small burger stands. Good choice if you're hungry and coming through town. Support small business! read more

very welcoming, and the shakes were amazing. the restaurant also has a very 70's vibe to it, making it very nostalgic.

We stopped here because my son had a game in the area. They do have a VEGGIE burger even though it's not on the menu. We ordered fries and burgers. I enjoyed my food, my kids and husband did as well. It wasn't amazing but Kat good enough for a quick bite. If your in the area and want a burger definitely check it out. I am a happy customer because they had a VEGGIE burger! I appreciate that. I added grilled onions and it was really good. read more

Humdingers is awesome. Food is excellent... I love their sides esp potato salad. You cannot beat the location for fast food! And the staff there are like a well oiled machine... they get those orders out timely and are still nice to customers. read more

Al's Humdinger is a little place located right off the 101 and the banks of the Hoquiam river. Step inside to the tiny glass enclosed lobby to place your order, then wait for someone to signal you over to the little pass-thru window. Pay attention or you might miss it. I had the fish & chips dinner which included 2 fillets, crinkle fries & coleslaw. - I'm pretty sure the fish was pre-battered/frozen fillets. They weren't greasy and the fish was moist & flaky, but they didn't have the flavor that you get from hand-battered fresh fish. The tartar sauce (pre-packaged from Sysco) tasted mostly like plain mayo, even though some relish was visible. - The crinkle fries were great. Crisp on the outside and light and fluffy in. Dipped in their fry sauce they made for a 5 star side. - The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy but could have used a little more seasoning. A little lemon, sugar & onions would elevate this side. Service was prompt and friendly. Next time I'll try their namesake burger since that seems to be what folks rave about here. Oh, and more of those fries & fry sauce...and some more fry sauce please! read more

I've always loved their food however I stopped by and paid almost $13 for a large fry which was hardly filled and 2 sauces, seems extremely over priced read more

Al's Hum Dinger - Burgers Near Me - Hoquiam, Washington

A nice little restaurant with a good selection of fast food. However, on our way back from Seaside, Oregon to Seattle, WA my wife and I tried calling multiple times before stopping by no one picks up the phone. It was Tuesday around 3 pm we decided to stop by for two things; fried mushrooms and gizzard. They ran out of gizzards. So, we ordered the mushrooms and headed home. It was one of those things/ days, it took us a little over an hour or so just to make it across the bridge. Traffic was heavy. I would have given it another star if that plus a restroom for the customers to use. The long trip there was not worth it unless you are on your way to or from the ocean shores. This doesn't make any difference, but the waiter took food to others sitting in their cars. Ours, the waiter made some gestures for us to go and get our food from the little window, knee-high. We love their food and will stop on our way to the shores or go fishing in the area. read more

During Covid I have been supporting local places to eat at. No exception here. Unfortunately it is not exceptional place. Good but no wow factor. The meat is frozen and the Humdinger is a messy burger to say the least. The chocolate malt was made with vanilla "ice cream" with added chocolate syrup which wasn't mixed together very well. Not creamy, more icy-like. Thank goodness for straws so I could stir it up some more to get to the chocolate at the bottom. Again, not bad but I'll probably check out some of the other locals next time through. read more

It's what you'd expect looking at other reviews and photos. There's maybe a few tables outside but it's an order at the counter and wait at your car deal. The people are very friendly. The food is fine. I got the clam strips based on another yelp review and yes - they were clams and not just breading! but also not flavorful. The coleslaw was lackluster. Fries were yummy - mostly because of the fry sauce. Cute place and you get what you expect. read more

A ridiculously good basic burger (we've had cheeseburgers and bacon cheeseburgers). Juicy, fresh toppings. Crinkle cut fries are crisp and hot. Fry sauce good. Service great! I want to try out the fish and chips next. read more

We moved to Aberdeen a few months back. One of our movers told us about Humdinger's and we decided to try it. Absolutely wonderful. We've ate here 6 times and each time the burgers are hot, fresh, flavorful and delicious. The fries always hot although they are just crinkle fries. Good but just fries. The onion rings are out of this world good and their shakes are real Ice cream Shakes. The strawberry actually has real berries in it. The service is almost always perfect. 1 out of 6 the counter lady was rude and I wanted to smack her. But every other experience has been met by wonderful staff who clearly care about the customers. This is an A+++ burger drive in. It will Cost about $15 per adult meal But oh so worth it. Thank you Humdinger!!!! We are lifers now. read more

Not super impressed. My first time here, one of the workers was screaming at a customer in the parking lot. The cashier was very sweet. Although we were told that the food would be delivered out to our car, but another lady was banging on the window that our food was ready. Prices are decent, food is below average. Small portions. Not very nice to customers. read more
